Australia skilled work visa protector fee in Pakistan – May 2025

Australia has become a new and attractive option for skilled Pakistani workers, offering jobs in many fields and even a chance to become a citizen.

But before going to Australia for work, Pakistanis must complete a legal process called “Protector of Emigrants” (PE) approval.

Why You Need a Protector Stamp

If you have a valid Australian work visa, you must get your job agreement approved and your passport stamped by the Protectorate of Emigrants (PE) office in Pakistan. This gives you several benefits:

• Full legal protection in Australia

• Help from Pakistan’s embassy if you face any problems at work

• Support from the Community Welfare Attaché if your employer breaks the contract

• Help for your family back home in case of issues

Steps to Get Protector Approval

Step 1 – Prepare Documents
You’ll need:

• Online registration form (for direct hires)

• Valid visa and passport

• CNIC copy

• Signed job agreement or employer letter

• Fee payment receipts (registration, welfare, and insurance)

• State Life insurance certificate

• Medical fitness report from an approved center

Step 2 – Get the Protector Sticker
After your documents are checked, you’ll attend an orientation. Your passport gets a special sticker, and your case is forwarded to the PE officer.

Step 3 – Final Approval
The PE officer signs and seals your passport, completing the process.
